“I Am” is a 6-week lesson series focusing on who Jesus says He is. By looking at the “I AM” statements of Jesus from the book of John, students will come face to face with Jesus and gain an understanding of who Jesus is and what He came to earth to do. The most shocking discovery they will make is to see that Jesus is fully God. He is the I AM revealed in the Old Testament, come to earth to rescue His people. 

The book of John contains 7 “I AM” statements. Two of these statements are included in one lesson. In week 3, we focus primarily on Jesus being the good shepherd and what that means, but as it’s in the same passage, the truth of Him being the gate/ door is also mentioned and taught briefly in large group, while small groups focus mainly on the shepherd nature of Christ. The truth behind that statement is fleshed out more in week 5 as we look at Jesus being the way, truth, and life, focusing on Him being the only way to God the Father.

If you're looking for a fun add-on for this series, check out the "Guess the Names of Jesus" On-Screen Game. It's a fun way to review the "I Am" statements of Jesus.
